Vol. 346 No. 6

Written Answers. - Forestry Operations.

397.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry the estimated profit or loss which accrued to his Department from its forestry operations for each year from 1970 to 1982.

The accounts of the Forest and Wildlife Services are not kept in such format as would show an annual profit and loss picture in respect of its forestry operations. Indeed, the on-going long-term nature of the State forestry enterprise does not readily lend itself to such a process. However, I would commend to the Deputy the annual Appropriation Accounts in relation to the Forestry Vote and also the annual reports of the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry on the activities of the Forest and Wildlife Service. These publications which are available in the Library, contain income and expenditure data which I trust will go some way towards meeting the Deputy's requirements.
